New DNA evidence links suspect in hospital slaying
The prime suspect in the New Year's Day slaying at Suburban Hospital was captured on video disposing of what turned out to be a pair of gloves thought to have been worn by the killer. But that same suspect was seen moments earlier washing a pair of gloves in a bucket of chemically treated water. Detectives were worried: Would there be any evidence left on the gloves? More than two months later, as the case heads toward trial, they say they have their answer.
